Football Cheese Ball

'Tis the season for football parties and cheering for our favorite teams.  Despite a disappointing loss to Kansas City this weekend, we still enjoyed a fun Bronco's football party at our house.  And our sadness over the Bronco's loss was soon overcome with celebration for the Oregon Ducks winning the Rose Bowl!

Here's a fun football party recipe for a mexican-style cheese ball that is delicious with crackers or chips...

Ingredients:
  • 1 package cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can refried beans
  • 1 can spicy Rotel tomatoes (drained)
  • 1/2 can black beans (drained)
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • Chili Powder
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
Mix the ingredients (except for the chili powder and sour cream).  Form into a football shape and allow to cool (and harden) in the refrigerator.  Top the cheese football with chili powder (it creates a nice brown color for the football).  Use sour cream to create the laces on the football.  To do this I place about 1/4 cup sour cream in a plastic sandwich bag and cut a small hole in one corner.  I use the bag to "pipe" the laces on the football.

Have Fun and GO BRONCOS!!!
